Sudbury was warm enough to chop/break the ice, girls watched and later tried it themselves ...

Chop, Chop, Chop, ... they are so proud/happy that I gave them approval to 'chop' away like I (Mom) does annually ... I love it; makes me feel Spring is in the 'air' ... aahhhh

This winter in Sudbury has been crazy ... one minute it's cold, then the next minute we have to put on our spring coats; then snow arrives and melts the next day ... Our weather is usually consistent; slowly getting colder in November and in late November and December the snow arrives ... then by the end of Dec/Jan/Feb the lakes are hard enough. The Science North staff (a wonderful museum-you must see) makes a large skating rink on Ramsey Lake ... but this year ... ummmm ... I not quite sure about the weather, this year, so we didn't chance skating ... I prefer HARD SAFE ice :) (http://www.travbuddy.com/Science-North-v267066)

As a result of the 'mixed-up weather there are a 'zillion-million' pot-holes in Sudbury this spring ... the roads expanded and contracted each day/week ... with the continous change in the weather, this past winter, municipality of Sudbury has the 'roads cut out for them' LOL ... nasty on the drive and one road actually collapsed in NICE ... they fixed it for now ... the driver wasn't hurt

Don't get me wrong, Sudbury is a nice place to visit, but I'd wait until summer weather, roads repaired, and with the leaves on the trees which make each street that more beautiful ... Visit the Big Nickel ... and tell me if you pass through, we'll meet for coffee!!

I did with Bill oneday from Texas ... Dan and I enjoyed the TB meet-up ... I'd/we'd do it again!!!!
